Autumn 2019: Association News

#ThatsWhoWeR: Chicago REALTORS® Show Their Advocacy

Getting in front of legislators and standing up for the real estate industry is in the fabric of our Association. We’re so proud of the REALTORS® who have answered the call so far.

This past May, the Chicago Association of REALTORS® board attended the 2019 Mayoral Inauguration to welcome Chicago’s new leadership and show our commitment to working with them to protect private property rights.

“Being in the room during such a historic event was inspiring,” Nykea Pippion McGriff, Dream Town Realty broker and Chicago Association of REALTORS® treasurer, said. “The energy and conversations were filled with a sense of hope for a better future for the city of Chicago.”
